Figure 1.1 shows the volume versus pressure and temperature plot for 1 mole of an ideal gas. How would the plot change for 2 moles of an ideal gas? How would it change for n moles?

Question

Figure 1.1 shows the volume versus pressure and temperature plot for 1 mole of an ideal gas. How would the plot change for 2 moles of an ideal gas? How would it change for [latex] n [/latex] moles?

Accepted Answer

The surface would be shifted up to double the volume at every point. The slopes and curvatures of the surface at [latex]2V_i [/latex] remain the same as those at [latex]V_i[/latex] .

For [latex] n [/latex] moles, the surface shifts up at every point by [latex]n V_i [/latex] — again, with the slopes and curvatures remaining the same.
